Before registration opens, you will want to find out a little more about what courses are available to your student...

• View the Forsyth County Schools 2020-2021 Course Digest for all courses offered in schools.
  • Each subject area can be viewed using the menu on the left of the page.
  • Most of your main academic area courses (English, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies) will be recommended by your current teachers. 

• SFHS Courses and Electives
  • 20-21 SFHS Course Digest for Rising 9th Grade Students
  • 20-21 SFHS Course Digest for Current 9th-11th Grade Students

• Online Q & A Sessions
  • Our Counseling department will be holding two (2) online Question & Answer sessions once registration starts, on March 5th and March 10th, from 6:30 PM - 7:30 PM. Links for those sessions will be available under the Things to Consider... section below.
  • Additionally, on the March 5th Q&A session, the Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate programs will be discussed, for those students interested in learning more about those programs.
  • Both Q&A sessions will be archived for viewing at a later time, if you are unable to attend live.

• Counseling Help
  • If you have any questions at all about what courses you should take - to make sure you're on track to graduate, to make sure your academic load is rigorous enough, etc. - make an appointment with your counselor to discuss it with them.

Some elective courses require applications and teacher recommendations to be completed. These applications must be received by their specific due date.

• Click here to access the Course Applications page.
• Click here to access the IE2 Application (seniors only). 
• In some cases, one or more Teacher Recommendations are required. This form can be found here. 

On March 4th, 2020, at 8 AM, Elective Registration opens on Parent Portal.

• Click here for instructions on how to register for electives on Parent Portal.
• Click here to access Parent Portal. (You will need to log in.)

During registration, we make every attempt to schedule every student into all of the courses they request; but this often can't be done for everyone.

• If you have a course on your schedule that you need to change for some reason, you will need to complete the Waiver Form (link will only be available from March 16 at 8AM to March 23 at 4 PM).
• Waiver Discussion Appointments: If you choose to waive into 2 or more HIGHER LEVEL (AP or Honors) classes, you must complete a Waiver Appointment Meeting with an administrator or counselor by PHONE. We will contact a parent or guardian to discuss options. You must complete the waiver form prior to the waiver phone meeting. We will only discuss waivers during these calls. 
• Note: Not every course waiver request will be granted.
